Gaily  Improved  Universal  Printing  Press. 

Style  No.  2. 


This  style  differs  from  the  No.  i in  that  it  is  heavier  and 
stronger  in  its  general  bnild,  having  a much  heavier 
platen  and  heavier  fly-wheel  for  “carrying  over”  on  a 
more  pow'erfnl  impression.  It  has  a steel  section 
welded  into  the  rim  of  the  large  gear  wheel,  in  which  are 
formed  the  teeth  which  are  in  engagement  with  the  teeth  of 
the  driving  pinion  during  the  time  of  the  impression,  also  a 
steel  section  in  cam-way  where  the  friction  roller  does  its 
hard  w^ork. 

The  style  No.  2 is  equipped  with  our  new  style  double 
rolling  device,  which  lifts  one  of  the  form  rollers  clear  of  the 
form  on  the  downward  movement  of  the  carriage,  by  means 
of  latches,  which  drop  automatically  as  the  rollers  leave  the 
distributing  cylinders,  and  hold  one  roller  off  the  form 
by  supporting  its  journal  boxes.  Wdien  the  roller  carriage 
passes  the  low'er  edge  of  form,  the  latches  are  released  by 
pins  coming  in  contact  with  stops  on  frame  of  press,  and  the 
roller,  with  a fresh  supply  of  ink,  passes  over  the  form  on 
the  upward  movement. 

This  is  one  of  the  best  of  the  Universal  Presses  for  gen- 
eral work  and  is  therefore  specially  recommended  to  printers 
wishing  to  do  very  fine,  or  tint  work,  or  large  half-tone  plates. 

Built  in  two  sizes  only:  Half  Medium,  13x19  inches 
inside  chase.  Half  Super  Royal,  14x22  inches  inside  chase. 
Improved  Universal  Printing  Press.  I he  same  small  parts  are  included  as  specified  on  page

Gaily  Improved  Universal  Printing  Press. 

Style  No.  3. 


Improved  Universal  Printing  Press. 
New  Style  No.  3. 


The  Style  No.  3 is  recommended  to  those  printers  who 
want  the  best  press  procurable  for  executing  the  finest 
class  of  cut,  solid  block  and  color  printing. 

The  Style  No.  3 Universal  Press  differs  from  Style  No.  i 
in  the  following  particnlars : 

The  pinion  shaft  is  extended  and  given  an  extra  out- 
side floor  support.  The  pulleys  are  wider  and  intended  to 
carry  a 23^2  inch  belt  on  Quarto  Medium  and  a 33^2  inch  belt 
on  the  larger  sizes.  The  fly-wheel  on  Quarto  Medium  weighs 
200  pounds  and  on  the  Half  Medium  and  Half  Super  Royal, 
300  pounds  each.  The  large  gear  wheel  has  the  steel  sec- 
tions like  the  Style  No.  2,  described  on  page  number  three. 

The  main  shaft  is  of  high  grade  steel,  with  solid  reamed 
bearing  through  the  bed.  The  connecting  rods  are  of  forged 
machinery  steel,  very  heavy,  and  bushed  with  phosphor- 
bronze  where  bearing  on  crank-pins.  The  bridge  and  platen 
are  solid  to  each  other — no  pressure  whatever  being  sus- 
tained by  screws.

T' 


'0  meet  the  demand  of  those  printers  who  require  a

work ; blank  book  makers  and  others  who  do  not  have 
constant  need  for  a cylinder  press,  we  offer  the  Style  No.

Gally  Universal  Cutter  and  Creaser. 


Cutter  and  Creaser 


Early  in  isze  the  first  printing  presses  adapted 
to  the  work  of  cutting  and  creasing  paper  and 
pasteboard  for  boxes  were  made  by  M.  Gaily, 
since  which  time  there  have  been  placed  hundreds 
in  most  of  the  paper-box  manufactories  of  the 
United  States.  The  press  now  offered  is  the  latest 
improvement,  and  is  the  most  powerful  and  easily 
handled  machine  ever  produced  for  this  purpose. 
It  has  the  improved  platen  movement  of  the  Universal 
Press,  it  is  remarkably  simple,  and  being  extremely 
solid  in  its  build,  it  is  peculiarly  adapted  for  either 
stamping  or  paper-box  cutting.  All  sizes  have  the 
extra  steel  gibbed  lock  and  are  also  provided  with 
phosphor-bronze  bushings  between  the  draw  bars 
and  impression  cranks. 

In  these  presses  are  combined  unequaled  power, 
speed,  strength  and  facility  for  operating.  The 
speed  is  limited  only  by  the  expertness  of  the  feeder. 
The  platen  is  under  absolute  control  by  means  of  the 
instantaneous  throw-off.  These  presses  are  double 
geared,  extremely  powerful,  durable  and  effectiv'e, 
and  will  not  “stall.”

Gaily  Universal  £mbossing'  Press 


Gally  Universal  Embossing  Press. 


ON  this  press  the  impression  is  obtained  by 
means  of  a rocking  and  sliding  platen  held  at 
the  point  of  impression  by  lugs,  to  which  is 
added  a steel  gibbed  lock  at  the  front  of  the  platen 
and  in  the  line  of  the  face  of  the  embossing  dies. 
This  extra  lock  holds  the  platen  to  position  and 
exact  register  for  the  dies,  and  effectually  prevents 
the  bridge  from  rising  from  its  seat  and  the  platen 
from  tilting  in  either  direction.  This  device  is  of 
great  value  and  is  used  exclusively  on  the  Gally 
Presses. 

The  Gally  Universal  principle  permits  of  devel- 
oping for  the  purpose  practically  unlimited  strength 
and  power.  The  larger  size  (24  x 20  inch  bed) 
made  can  be  run  at  1800  perfect  impressions  per 
hour.  The  platen  is  set  low,  is  easy  to  feed,  and 
is  under  absolute  control  liy  means  of  the  instan- 
taneous impression  throwoff  and  impression  adjuster. 
These  presses  will  not  “stall”  on  the  heaviest  work. 


9 


Gaily  Universal  Embossing^  Press 


The  wide  doiilde  gears  have  steel  sections  welded  into  their  rims  at  the  point  where  impression  is  sus- 
tained. The  main  shaft  is  of  inch  steel,  with  solid  reamed  bearing  through  bed.  The  pinion  shaft 
is  of  2-fs  inch  steel  and  runs  in  a series  of  six  bearings  (two  within  and  two  outside  the  frame  of  press) 
and  an  end  floor  support  to  each  extremity  of  shaft.  The  platen  bridge  shaft  is  of  3g  inch  steel.  There  are 
two  flywheels,  one  on  each  side  of  press,  each  wheel  weighing  375  pounds,  revolving  5J  times  to  each  impres- 
sion. The  driving  and  loose  pulleys  are  10  inches  in  diameter  and  carry  a 35  inch  belt.  The  connecting  rods 
are  massively  heavy,  of  machinery  steel,  and  the  “eyes”  where  bearing  on  crank  pins  are  bushed  with  phosphor 
bronze  metal. 

Unless  otherwise  ordered,  the  platens  of  embossing  presses  are  set  “type  high.”  For  cold  process  work, 
the  dies  if  blocked  “type  high,”  may  be  locked  in  chases.  If  unblocked  dies  are  used  a cast  iron  bed  blank  is 
furnished  in  lieu  of  chases,  for  backing  and  holding  the  dies.  For  hot  process  work  a steam  blank  and  a steel 
die  plate  are  used,  and  the  platen  l)lank  is  removed  to  provide  space  for  the  dies.

Universal  Stamping  Press 


For  Book-covers,  Signs,  Photo  Mounts  and  other  work  requiring  Greater  Strength  and  Pressure  than  for 
General  Embossing. 

This  kind  of  work  has  heretofore  been  done  successfully  only  on  slow-running  upright  embossing  presses. 
The  Universal  Stamping  Press  is  the  only  FAvST  RUNNING  machine  ever  built  that  is  sufficiently  rigid 
and  powerful  to  do  this  work  satisfactorily.  Its  speed  is  from  1800  to  2000  impressions  per  hour,  and  is  really 
limited  only  by  the  ability  of  the  feeder.  The  old  upright  machines  require  an  expert  man  to  feed  them,  while 
the  Universal  Stamper  can  be  fed  perfectly  by  an  ordinary  press-boy. 

This  press  is  made  only  in  one  size,  24  x 26  inch  bed-plate;  is  of  the  same  general  design  as  the  Universal 
Embosser,  but  heavier  and  more  powerful.  Its  main  shaft  is  6%  inches  diameter  and  the  bridge  shaft  is  4J4 
inches  diameter. 

To  insure  absolute  rigid  impression,  this  press  has  no  impression  throw-off,  and  has  solid  bushed  bearings 
for  crank  pins  and  bridge  shaft. 

This  press  can  be  adapted  for  either  hot  or  cold  work. 

Gross  weight,  complete,  for  domestic  shipment,  4600  pounds. 

Prices  furnished  on  application  to  Agents  or  The  National  Machine  Company.
